In "Dare You To" by Katie McGarry, the characters express their individuality and struggles through their appearances. Noah, with his hair covering his eyes, shields his emotions from the outside world, suggesting a deep inner life that others can't easily access. His choice to hide reflects the challenge of connecting with others while grappling with personal pain. Isaiah, adorned with striking tattoos, represents a blend of beauty and rebellion. His tattoos intimidate those who conform, yet they attract those who are free-spirited and open-minded. The narrator, a poet influenced by creativity and possibly substance use, brings a unique perspective, seeking freedom through words. Together, they illustrate the complexities of identity in a judgmental society.
